Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long campaign may find the main story’s 11 in-game days and 5–8-hour completion time limited
- Players wanting combat-heavy RPG progression may find the focus on forging, jewelry making, and local relationships too narrow
- Players looking for a large open-world adventure may find the setting centered on one port town
- Players who want a management game about running a business may prefer a title focused on cafés, lodging, or broader operations
Our take on CraftCraft: Fantasy Merchant Simulator
The short, defined story gives the crafting and relationship systems a focused setting, but limits the main narrative to 11 in-game days. The endless mode adds continued crafting without extending the central branching story.
What is CraftCraft: Fantasy Merchant Simulator?
CraftCraft combines a narrative RPG with a simulation focused on forging and jewelry making.
Players work as a jeweler or smith in Windspell, creating items such as tiaras and swords while meeting townsfolk whose lives can be affected by choices. Character options include moth, elf, and cat forms, and a pet owlcat can accompany the player. The main branching story covers 11 in-game days and takes about 5–8 hours to complete once. Multiple backgrounds, background-specific characters, random scavengable items, and several endings add variation across playthroughs. A non-story endless mode extends crafting beyond the main narrative. The game includes full voice acting and an original soundtrack performed with real folk instruments.
